Im just about done with my drum to disc rear brake conversion and I need these brackets to finish up the job. I got this pic from the archives to show exactly what I need.

1g fwd dsm ones will work too but you will have to redrill one of the lower holes to get them to bolt to a csm. I have a pair of those that you can have if you pay for shipping.

Also if you own a 91/92 car these are welded onto the rear axle beam, not bolted on like the 89/90 cars. In this case you will have to go another route.

Yea mine is an 89 which all I "tried" to do was drill another hole below the original one but failed miserable. I got a nice blood blister on my finger as a result.

How much were you looking to get for those, Coltsfan? Im not really looking to spend a fortune but at the same time im not looking for freebies.

Make an offer. No reasonable one will be refused.

Bump.

Under 15 dollars would be great. Not sure what these things are even worth. If nobody has them on here, than im just going to grab another set with the single holes and drill another hole (with the right size bit this time) and make that work.

Yea and whats shipping, 15 dollars? Like the 8 bolts that I needed that you wanted me to pay 25 dollars for? If I cant get these by the end of the week im re-drilling a set of 89 stock brackets.

You don't re-drill the csm brackets you re-drill the fwd dsm ones. Like I said, I have a pair laying around that you can have if you want them. That is, if you guys can't work out a deal on the original turbo brackets.

I garantee shipping would not be more than $5. They're pretty small.

You wouldn't have wanted those bolts anyway; it turned out one didn't match.

The original 89 NT Colt brackets that I have look identical to the turbo brackets but there is only one hole on top instead of two. I tried drilling another hole below the original and ended up screwing up the brackets enough to the point where I didnt want to use them because the drill bit I used on the drill press was bent or something.

I guess that would work but why not just use the dsm brackets? They have the metal hardlines and all, already installed. Only one hole to drill for the bottom mounting bolt. Even if you drill another hole in the csm bracket you still have to find a way to connect the two brake lines together.
